“Welcome to
the Jangle”
What do the knobs actually do?
The main driver for the compression engine, pushing your signal into a feedback sidechain detector and a vintage-voiced OTA gain cell. Low settings give transparent, smooth leveling that glues your picking together; crank it for that tactile vintage "squash" and endless, singing sustain.
Sets the final output volume—plenty of clean makeup gain to match your bypassed signal, or use it as a clean boost to push a virtual tube amp into rich, natural breakup.
Controls the dry/wet mix of the signature Sparkle circuit. At zero the pedal is a pristine standalone compressor; roll it up to weave in a wide, double-tracked unison shimmer—from tight rhythm pocket to dream-pop haze.
A three-way voicing switch. Normal is a balanced, full-frequency response with warm lows; Bright lifts the top-end for open, airy clarity; Jangle—the sweet spot—cuts 300 Hz of low-end mud and adds a presence peak at 1.8 kHz to cut right through the mix.
